Movie Haiku:Over-hyped Oscar nominated doc was a major disappointment for both of us. While some individual scenes were powerful, overall this tribute to recently-deceased German choreographer Pina Bausch was opaque & sometimes the dancing verged on outright ugly. Proof yet again that 3-D technology cannot save a film if the underlying narrative is weak.
